Get ready for an unforgettable night of jam-band magic as Zach Nugent’s Dead Set takes the stage at The Newton Theatre this summer! Far more than a tribute, Dead Set delivers a full-on Grateful Dead experience—authentic, soulful, and completely electric.
Led by guitar virtuoso Zach Nugent, this talented group of musicians taps into the heart and soul of Jerry Garcia’s legacy, recreating the Grateful Dead’s rich catalog with stunning accuracy and fearless improvisation. Nugent’s signature playing style captures the spirit of Garcia in a way that longtime fans say feels like the real thing.
From the psychedelic soundscapes of “Dark Star” to sing-along classics like “Truckin’” and “Friend of the Devil,” this show will take you on a musical journey through the most beloved moments in rock history. Whether you’re a seasoned Deadhead or a newcomer to the scene, Dead Set promises an immersive, high-energy night filled with rhythm, groove, and good vibes.
🎸 Don’t miss your chance to dance, sway, and relive the magic of the Dead!
